Anime cuisine: Starting with glowing dishes

'It's so delicious it's unfair!'

Emotions surge!

When she was very young, Kirishima Touka was very curious——

What exactly is human food like? Why do humans look so contented and happy when eating it?

What kind of taste and texture do they taste on their tongues?

Kirishima Touka didn't understand because human food smelled bad when she ate it, a taste that made her feel sick and nauseous.

Kirishima Touka has known since childhood that ghouls cannot eat human food and can only survive by eating humans or their own kind.

Later, when she entered school and made human friends, she suffered even more.

In normal interpersonal interactions, every time a friend shares food, it is a torture for her.

She wanted to eat mentally, but rejected it physically!

Compared to the physical feeling of nausea and vomiting, the mental torture made her suffer more.

But now, everything has changed, at least something has changed!

She can eat the glowing food sold at this incredible food stall!

Kirishima Touka cried with joy!

"..."

Yoriko Kosaka doesn't quite understand why Touka Kirishima cries while eating. Isn't this too exaggerated?

She didn't understand and was shocked!

but--

She thinks Touka Kirishima is so cute!

After a slight surprise, Kosaka Yoriko showed a funny expression, then looked down at the two remaining pearl dumplings in her hand.

"If one day..."

It would be great if she could also cook this kind of glowing food that is so delicious that it makes people cry!

However, Kosaka Yoriko also knew that this was impossible, unless...

She looked at Lu Ping'an and showed a very sweet smile.

"Big Brother, would you like to accept me as your disciple? Yizi might have done it!"

"No."

Lu Ping'an took the time to glance at Kirishima Touka and refused without hesitation.

"Huh? Such a straightforward rejection!"

The sweet smile on Kosaka Yoriko's face could no longer be suppressed, and she puffed out her cheeks.

But it wasn't that she was disappointed. She had never thought that the other party would accept her. She just asked casually.

"If Boss Lu wants to accept apprentices, I will be the first to sign up and pay the tuition!" A diner who was eating pearl dumplings next to him raised his chopsticks and said.

"I'll give it to you too! After you finish your apprenticeship, you can work for Boss Lu and follow his instructions!"

"I can't afford much tuition, but I'm hardworking and can help with some odd jobs!"

"I'll sign up for my secretary, 30000 yen per hour, how about that?" The Rolex fat sheep spoke with a tycoon's temperament, attracting many people's attention.

Lu Pingan also glanced at him. It was the first time he heard of someone signing up for a secretary...

He waved his hand, refusing the third offer: "I don't want to accept any disciples. I have no such plans. We'll talk about it later."

"alright."

Some people who wanted to become disciples looked disappointed.

"..."

At this time, Kirishima Touka was very embarrassed.

Ghouls will reveal their red eyes when they activate their abilities or eat.

She is now in the state of blindness!

I didn't dare open my eyes for fear of being discovered.

Fortunately, her bangs are very long——

Kirishima Touka lowered her head, quietly opened her eyes a little, took a mouthful of noodles, raised her head, closed her eyes and chewed with enjoyment on her face.

"……tasty!"

"It's very delicious! But it's too expensive. I really want to eat it every day!" After tasting the steamed noodles, Kosaka Yoriko said with a bit of regret.

"Well, yes, it's indeed not cheap." Kirishima Touka nodded in agreement.

"..."

"Huh? You're not eating anymore?"

Noticing that Kirishima Touka showed off a box of double-mix and had no intention of continuing to eat, Kosaka Yoriko asked in surprise.

"Well, I usually eat a small amount, so I'm already full."

Kirishima Touka suppressed her greed and touched her stomach.

It’s not very convenient to eat here, as it’s easy to make mistakes, so she wants to go back and enjoy it with her friends in the store.

Fortunately, I usually have a personality of having a 'small appetite', which is a great help!

"That's it."

Kosaka Yoriko nodded without any doubt, glancing at the remaining glowing food in Kirishima Touka's hand, and asked curiously, "Are you going to take these back and eat them slowly?"

"Yeah." Kirishima Touka nodded, then added after a moment, "I'll share some with the seniors working in the store. They usually take good care of me."

This kind of good stuff must be shared!

Kirishima Touka could already imagine the shocked expressions of Furuma-senpai, Irimi-senpai, the store manager, and Shifang, and a hint of joy appeared on the corners of her mouth.

"Then your seniors are in for a treat, but you are really generous!" Yoriko Kosaka glanced at the smile on Kirishima Touka's face and also smiled.

"It's okay. I only express my gratitude occasionally."

Kirishima Touka waved her hand.

……

The sky darkened unknowingly and the neon lights in the city shone brightly.

Kirishima Touka and Kosaka Yoriko returned along the same route they came.

"Next time, let's come together after I get my salary next month!"

Yoriko Kosaka carried her schoolbag and walked briskly to Kirishima Touka and turned around, her skirt swaying with her movements.

Although I can't afford to eat it every day, it's okay to eat it occasionally or once a month.

"Okay!"

Kirishima Touka agreed happily.

She was in an extremely happy mood!

"Arigado, Yiko."

"Thank you for letting me taste human food...?"

'This is the first time I've experienced such a long-lasting aftertaste!'

'It turns out that food can really leave a lasting impression!'

"Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"

When Kosaka Yoriko arrived in front of the station, she looked over in confusion.

Kirishima Touka smiled brightly:

"Because you took me to a great place!"

(There will be another chapter later)

……

……

Chapter 34: Human food that we ghouls can eat!

After returning to District 20, although Touka Kirishima was eager to go home, she still secretly sent Yoriko Kosaka back home first.

Because of the arrival of a certain big eater, District 20 has been a bit restless lately.

It's not just because the big ghouls are hunting wantonly, there are also many ghouls taking advantage of the situation in secret.

So it is quite dangerous for ordinary people at night.

Kirishima Touka looked up at the inky sky, then walked lightly to a coffee shop called "Antique" carrying her schoolbag and packed food.

She reached out and pushed open the glass door of the coffee shop, and the bell on the door immediately made a crisp sound.

"Touka-chan?"

In the store.

A mature woman in a suit and vest, with her hair hanging down on both sides and tied in a bun, was attracted by the voice. She looked towards the door and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Would you like some coffee?"

Ru Jianxuan didn't have work tonight, but Dongxiang asked her to change shifts at noon.

"No need, I brought back some good stuff. Are the manager and Shifang here?" Kirishima Touka lifted the bag in her hand like a child full of desire to share.

While speaking, he glanced inside the store. At this time, there were not many customers in the store, only four or five, including humans and ghouls.

"The store manager and Sifang didn't come. What did you bring back? Why did you call them?"

The slightly plump man, who had just served coffee and a sandwich to a customer and was also wearing a suit vest, with a suit hairstyle, light hair, and a thick nose, looked curiously at the bag in Kirishima Touka's hand.

Because they were cold, the light of the pearl dumplings and steamed rice noodles disappeared - so all he saw were a few ordinary lunch boxes.

Gu Jianyuan'er's expression suddenly became subtle.

'Fragments of the people?'

"What's so good about this? Is it something really fresh and high quality?"

But he felt that Kirishima Touka wouldn't take out something like that in a place like this...

I don't understand.

Ru Jianxuan was also puzzled and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

The customers in the coffee shop heard the conversation between the few people. Some of them looked sideways with curiosity, but when they found that the bag contained a few ordinary lunch boxes, they didn't care anymore.

"I brought back a delicacy that will subvert your imagination and cognition, and can even be said to change our future!" Kirishima Touka's eyes were particularly bright and her mood was a little high.

She is not usually like this, mainly because she is too excited tonight.

From the moment she ate Lu Ping'an's food, she was in a state of high excitement!

"Anyway, let's wait until the store manager and Sifang arrive."

Kirishima Touka turned around and flipped the 'Open' sign on the glass door to 'Closed', then went to the lounge upstairs.

Ru Jianxuan and Gu Jianyuan'er looked at each other and saw confusion and puzzlement on each other's faces, as well as a little curiosity.

"This kid...what happened tonight? What delicious food did he bring back? Will it change our future?"

"I do not know."

"..."

No matter how imaginative they were, they could not imagine that Kirishima Touka brought back human food that ghouls could eat.

Because ghouls cannot eat human food—

It’s an iron rule!
